Test graphic
Posted: Sat Feb 16, 2013 12:19 pm
I have found it a bit of a guess as to what is the best size for a graphic that is intended to be read as part of a post in this forum.
So, I have made a test graphic to try to find out.
I used the Paint program to make the graphic as Paint is available to many people who use a computer that is running using a Windows system.
I started the graphic as 600 pixels by 600 pixels and added the digits that are in the lower right part of the image. I then trimmed to 512 pixels by 512 pixels. The origin point of the digits is not any special point. I just needed digits in the lower right part of the image.
I usually have the computer set to an 800 pixels by 600 pixels display.
So here is the graphic, added so that how it can be viewed at various screen resolutions both with and without clicking on it to make it show better.
Clicking on an image is good to make it full size when needed, but it does not, in my opinion, make for an easily read page when only a smaller image is adequate for the display needed.
